Bye Bye Kitty-Kat

Our gorgeous Kat is leaving us today for the sun in Tonga (holiday) and the chance to make her millions as an entrepreneurial jewellery designer.  I hear your screams of woe, but shut your mouth, because our Kat will still be around albeit in a contracting capacity.  We've decided on a boozy lunch to say our tearful goodbyes. 

On another note..... our 3rd birthday is fast approaching! We're excited, we're ready and we're gonna be drunk and dangerous.... watch this space. 

Look Even Better Naked

Well some of us are suckers for punishment, some of us fell off the wagon so hard we were back at square one and some of us just loved the feeling of looking better naked.  Whatever the reason - four of us have signed up for another six weeks of gruelling work outs, tight regimes, smaller glasses of wine and a whole lot of water.  This one is more of a personal quest so we won't be updating you quite so frequently, but we will be just as competitive as ever so the biggest loser will be announced! Stay Tuned. 

Michelle Starts & Pippa has a Birthday!

The times, they are a changing at The PR Shop. For starters, Pippa is one year older.  She's had a birthday and was uncharacteristically restrained with her exploits (even working on her birthday): there were no incidents to report, except some dancing on tables, apparently.  

We also have a new employee - Michelle - who joins us from SKY TV as our Office Manager. Michelle is wonderful, and to celebrate her joining the team as well as Pippa's birthday, we went out for a Bliss Reflexology treatment and a Japanese dinner.  The combination was a great one - everyone helped flush out the toxin's reflexology released with some Kirin beer.  All in the name of health we say...... 

Sweat and the City

Pippa and Sal were speechless (for all of 2 seconds) when they walked smack-bang into the middle of the English Rugby squad at Les Mills on Friday.  Bodies were being flung everywhere and you could smell the testosterone in the room.  The girls were in exercise heaven .... well, that's until Cindy made them do burpees in the midst of it all and they looked like complete idiots.  

Most of the lads were not so hot to look at, what with their cauliflower ears, but their accents were nice to listen to and their celebrity status made exercising amongst them a treat.  One guy lifted 120kgs.  That's a lot of weight and put Pip and Sal's 10kgs to shame.  We wished them luck on Saturday, but not too much luck of course! 

How to put the Zest back

Well we’re all feeling rather zesty at the pr shop with the launch of Bell’s new Zesty Green Tea and the Zest for Life Challenge.

To inspire and enthuse you to get off your backside, get healthy, drink loads of green tea and feel ridiculously good, the Bell Zesty Green Zest for Life Challenge offers a full nutritional questionnaire and health programme, designed by the lovely people at Real Nutrition.

Take a look at www.zestychallenge.co.nz to see how you can get back your zest for life with new Bell Zesty Green Tea (you might even win a prize).

We pride ourselves on finding people with spark, effervescence and enthusiasm for our pr shop team. Most would give up on using these criteria when looking for an accountant, but no not us.

Lovely Lynda comes into our office twice a week and sorts out our accounts, makes sure we get paid, that people pay us and plays with numbers while we stick to what we do and play with words. And then we find out that at the weekend, she jumped out of an airplane. Luckily with a parachute attached to her back. We were gob-smacked. Assume nothing when dealing with the financial sector. That is the lesson for the day.

End of Boot Camp, Boot Party

To thank everyone who sponsored and supported us during our six week Les Mills Boot Camp recently, we had an “End of Boot Camp, Boot Party last week.

We swapped our kilos cash and managed to raise more than $1000 for Oxfam!

The party also served as an excuse to show off our pretty new cars, and no, we didn’t all wear boots (although one client used it as an excuse to buy a new pair!).

We enjoyed nibbles and cold beer from the back of the Jeeps and ever had a random runner (pictured along with Sal and our PT, Cindy) stop for a refreshing beer on his run home!
